Three-time Pro Bowl punter Brett Kern, who played 13 of his 15 seasons with the Tennessee Titans, announced his retirement Thursday.
Kern, 37, began his career with the Denver Broncos in 2008 and played for the Philadelphia Eagles last season.
The Titans scheduled a press conference for Thursday afternoon.
"It's been hard," Kern said of trying to write a proper retirement speech. "It's also brought back a lot of memories, too. You want to be able to thank a ton of people who helped you over the years, and all the memories from games, from teammates and coaches, conversations in the locker rooms, and road trips.
